What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have an ongoing construction that I would like to complete, it's halfway done. I had stalled due to shortage of money but with this help, I hope to make progress. My intention is to commit some money every month towards this project. I also have two children who are yet to start school, we will put some money aside like 500KES for their fees when the time comes. In later years, we hope to acquire livestock and start large scale farming.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I have a four month old son. Amidst all these challenges, I feel so happy that God saw it fit to bless me with a healthy baby to add to the one we already have. I love my children very much and I hope to provide them with anything that they would need in life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Buying food I brew alcohol Low income Wife not working At the moment, I'm working as palm wine tapper making very little money. My wife is unemployed and what I'm making is not enough for anything. Unemployment is my biggest challenge.
